STS-49 television show.

thecornflake

hello,

Is anybody aware of a documentary on the first shuttle flight of Endeavour ? STS 49 i think. I remember when i was very young there was a show i taped and it came in 4 or 6 parts on the crew of the first Endeavour mission , how they trained, the build up to the flight and the flight itself. I just don't remember what channel it was on and i don't remember where i put the tapes.

Does anybody remember this documentary ??? , I think it could have been called Astronauts , but I'm not 100%.

many thanks

I don't recall seeing that one and I have seen many over the years. If someone has a copy I would love to get my hands on it:)

yeah , I think i remember where i put the tapes now but I'll have to wait till i have a spare moment to see if they are there.

I could have sworn it was on Channel 4 or BBC or something like that.

If any one knows of any documentary on Endeavour please come forward lol , it's doing my head in.

Haven't been able to find reference to it through Google. I did find a site that may be of interest,it has a load of Space documentaries to view in reasonable quality.

had a search but couldn't find anything on the site.

However i did find a tape with astronauts written on it, so its not a dream thank god. Only problem is i have to get a loan of a tape player from a friend now. I also really hope someone didnt tape over it.

Astronauts -- Eastenders!:pac:

thecornflake

actually it says Air Force 1 , which i think is the film with Harrison Ford ( not as good but still pretty realistic and accurate film).

I just hope the credits of it are left so i can identify the makers or anything like that. I'll get back to you when i get a chance to check the tape.

Checked the tape, and turns out some clown recorded over it with some other film and other useless stuff.

However . .

I have been trying to find it online, and i think i have proof that it exists which is great because it could very well turn out that im not crazy and dreaming all of it up !

I was searching and came across this guy -->

which let me to search for this -->

http://www.servinghistory.com/topics/STS-72::sub::Documentary

which has the same name, shuttle and description that i had in mind, just the wrong mission number and i thought the documentary was even longer than 90mins.

further little clip -->

Still don't recall it. I had a look through my collection and all I could find was a documentry called "Rocketman" which followed the training and first flight of Dan Burbank on STS-106 in 2000.
